[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:37: The list above is year-specific.  And I think the point this list makes is that kids coming from Burgundy obviously have not been put at a disadvantage when it comes to high school.  They went to high school (a wide variety of schools) and cleaned up.[/quote]

Not sure I'd agree with the "cleaned up" bit, but aside from that, yes, this is precisely the point. Can Burgundy take all the credit for the colleges kids get into? Of course not. But equally, this list suggests that Watever else it does, going to Burgundy hardly "disadvantages" kids in some terrible way. If it did, you would not see them getting into good high schools and you would not expect them to get into good colleges. In fact, they appear to do fine.[/quote]

When someone is paying $25k+ per year for their child's education, they are hoping for a bit more than it just not being detrimental.

I can see the question in judging a k-8 based on the later college admissions. If my dc did public K-8 and then went to a big 3 school, do you think anyone would be claiming it was all because of their years in public, and the big 3 school was irrelevant? [/quote]
